Brutefence is described as 'Blocks RDP brute force attacks by automatically banning malicious IPs via Windows Firewall' and is a Remote Desktop tool in the network & admin category. There are three alternatives to Brutefence for Windows and Linux. The best Brutefence alternative is Fail2ban, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Brutefence are IPBanPro and RdpGuard.
Fail2ban scans log files (e.g. /var/log/apache/error_log) and bans IPs that show the malicious signs -- too many password failures, seeking for exploits, etc. Generally Fail2Ban is then used to update firewall rules to reject the IP addresses for a specified amount of time...
IPBan is a FREE and open source application that allows auto banning ip addresses from failed login attempts. Many sources are watched such as SSH, SMTP, SQL-Server, MySQL, RDP and dropped packets.
RdpGuard allows you to protect your Remote Desktop (RDP) from brute-force attacks by blocking attacker's IP address. Fail2Ban for Windows.
